OUR FIRST LOOK AT FOOD...SWEET POTATOES YUM!!

CHUNKY MONKEY

Well the last month has brought a TON of changes for our family.

Madi is getting so big. She is now 5 months old and is growing like a weed. At her last appoinment she was 22in long and 14 lbs 6 oz. I think she is a monster but the doc. said that she was in the 22% for height and 54% for weight so basically she apparently got my genes. She also now has both of her top vanpire teeth trying to poke through. We are feeding her baby food now with her favorites being bananas, carrots, and sweet potatoes. She also has become quite the talker and insists on feeding herself the bottle.

Joe got a new job which when he took it we didn't know that it would be such a blessing. He now works as the OSC specialists for Smith and Nephew. They are an orthopedic company and he manages the warehouse and all the shipping and receiving. Shortly after he took the job he found out that his old company had been sold and closed. What a relief it is knowing that we still have work instead of having to go through all that jobless stuff. Not only is the job a much better fit for him but is also is more money and less hours. Joe is really enjoying it and things couldn't be better.

As our lease was coming to an end we started yet again trying to find a house or townhouse to rent ( i just can't to another apartment with a dog and baby) in looking we realized that with a few short months of saving we could buy a house for the same price as renting. Yes BUY NOT RENT!! So we have starting the long process of buying a home. Lucky for us my parents were willing to let us stay with them until we find the house of our dreams. It has worked out well so far. We finally got the tv and internet working so Joe is happy with his sports and I can again update our blog more frequently.

Thats all for now enjoy the pictures!

I'm not with holding pics...

So heres the deal unlike what Jenni thinks I am not with holding pictures of Madi I jsut don't have access to my computer right now where the pics are. But don't worry when I get it figured out I will post them all (blessing, ducks, smiles, 3 months) Other then that she is getting so big and is smiling and so happy. And yes she is now getting a tooth!! I will post more later.

So we have been pretty busy these last few weeks. The first of February we took our first trip to Utah to visit great grandparents and aunts and uncles. Madi did great on the trip until the last 2 hours of drving when she decided that enough was enough. She is getting so big now and her personality is starting to show. She has now grown to about 10 and 1/2 lbs and has gained a few inches. She also had her first round of shots and her first really nasty sickness. :-( We are all better now and are doing well. Enjoy the pics.

5 weeks old

So I really am trying to get better at this blogging stuff!!

Madi is now 5 weeks old and she is now up to 8 and 1/2 lbs. I can't believe how much she have been changing every day. It has been fun to see her grow. She is finally starting to sleep more at night and be awake more in the day so that has been a lot more fun for me. We finally got the nursery finished and the crib set up so now she has her own room and hopefully that will help us all sleep better in coming weeks.

She has had a lot of firsts in the past few weeks including baths, blowing out diapes, sunday at church, and an avlanche game. Most of her firsts she have slept through including the hockey game (we were able to get on the ice again this time and we did get a good picture with her eyes open.) We will also have another first next week when she gets to meet her little cousin and aunt Jane and when we take a trip to Utah for my cousins wedding and to see great grandparents, aunts and uncles.

Well I will keep the writing short since I know everyone just wants to see pictures any way! :-D

2 weeks old

Her first ice cubes..(thats what Grandpa's are for)

I love that she put herself in these poses, she is a little diva already.

Madi had her first real doctors apt. this week. (I say real because I don't count the 7 times we went last week to get her blood drawn at an appointment just torture) She got a good clean bill of health and we are happy that her jaundic is finally gone. We also were able to sneak by with her weight (they like babies to be up to their birth weight by 2 weeks) with her weighing 7 lbs since she was only off by an ounce.

I am also doing well. I miss having Joe at home all the time now that he is back at work but I am figuring it all out.

Now if we could only figure out how to get Madi to sleep at night instead of all day then we would be doing great!!(any ideas?)

I Hope that everyone is doing well. If anyone is in the area feel free to stop by and say hello.
